โจโจโจ Most creators blame Epic for a lack of success. It's not them it's you. If someone is succeeding that's just proof that it is possible. So figure out how they did it and step up.
Stop blaming things on algorithms or influencers. Learn the algorithm, become an influencer.
Maybe I am lone here but going on 15 years of streaming I never once have said
"this person/org is taking my viewers"
"this person/org is taking my money"
"this person/org is making is making it hard for me to succeed"
"this person/org is taking my gigs"
If I don't get a gig. I wonder why and work harder toward getting one. I go to the source and say why?
If I have low viewership. I look at the climate and analyze what to do better or just chill after big storms pass.
You HAVE to look at yourself first. When you worry too much about others you lose sight of actual goals. You lose sight of your own community. You lose sight of the road ahead.
The advice worry about yourself I think is still a true thing. Look out for number one.
